THE FLATS – Seven home games, including a season-ending three-game homestand versus Virginia Tech, NC State and archrival Georgia, highlight Georgia Tech football’s 2019 schedule, which was announced by the Atlantic Coast Conference on Wednesday.
With the completion of the slate, Georgia Tech athletics has also announced prices for 2019 season tickets. Starting at just $219 for the Yellow Jackets’ seven-game home schedule (and just $300 for sideline seats – which is the lowest pricing since 2014), 2019 season tickets go on sale on Monday, Jan. 28.
2019 SCHEDULE
For the first time since 2016 and only the eighth time in the last 30 seasons, Georgia Tech’s 2019 schedule includes seven home games. In addition to previously announced non-conference games versus USF (Sept. 7), The Citadel (Sept. 14) and archrival Georgia (Nov. 30), the Yellow Jackets’ home slate also includes ACC games against North Carolina (Oct. 5), Pitt (Nov. 2), Virginia Tech (Nov. 16) and NC State (Thursday, Nov. 21).
The back-loaded home schedule marks the first time since 1979 (and only the second time since World War II) that Tech plays four home games in the month of November and the first time since 2007 that Georgia Tech plays at home four times in its final five games of the regular season. Additionally, the Yellow Jackets are hosting USF for the first time ever, The Citadel for the first time since 2001 and ACC Atlantic Division crossover opponent NC State for the first time since 2010. The Jackets have won 11-straight games over rotating crossover opponents from the Atlantic Division.
Georgia Tech’s five-game road slate includes previously announced trips to national champion Clemson (Thursday, Aug. 29) and Temple (Sept. 28), as well as ACC contests at Duke (Oct. 12), Miami (Oct. 19) and Virginia (Nov. 9).
The season opener at Clemson, which will be the first football game ever televised live on the ACC Network, will also mark only the third time in the last 23 years that the Yellow Jackets will open the season against a conference opponent. Georgia Tech’s Sept. 28 trip to Philadelphia to play Temple is notable not only because it is the first-ever matchup between the Jackets and Owls but also because it will serve as a homecoming for Tech head coach Geoff Collins, who was at the helm at Temple for the past two seasons.
Due to there being 14 Saturdays between Labor Day weekend and Thanksgiving weekend in 2019, the Yellow Jackets will enjoy two off weeks this season – Sept. 21 and Oct. 26.
